What phenomenon explains why we see different stars at different seasons?

The phenomenon that explains why we see different stars at different seasons is primarily due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth travels along its elliptical orbit throughout the year, the night sky shifts in appearance. This movement causes various constellations and stars to become visible at different times of the year depending on the position of the Earth relative to both the Sun and the stars.

During the night, as the Earth rotates on its axis, we might see certain stars, but over the course of the year, as the Earth orbits the Sun, other stars rise and set in our nighttime sky. This is why certain constellations are associated with specific seasons; for instance, Orion is prominent in winter evenings, while the Summer Triangle is recognizable during summer.

While the rotation of the Earth on its axis does affect which stars are visible at a given time during the night, it is the orbit of the Earth that accounts for the changes in the visible stars from one season to the next. Seasonal atmospheric conditions and the distance of stars from the Earth do not significantly answer the question about seasonal visibility. Atmospheric conditions can alter the clarity of our view but do not change which stars are present in the sky throughout the seasons. Similarly, the distances of stars,
